ちょっとこれ１本でどうやって食べろっていうのよイヤがらせ？
I was watching Gabriel Dropout, Episode 2, and then I came across with that sentence, but I don't get the logic behind it.
Why is taberu even in imperative form? What does verb in imperative form + っていう mean?
For more context, this is their conversation:
Vignette:ガヴ割り箸取ってくれない？
Vignette:ありがと
Gabriel:ほれ
Satania: ちょっとこれ１本でどうやって食べろっていうのよ
Satania: イヤがらせ？
「ちょっとこれ１本でどうやって食べろっていうのよ」 :Why do you say "eat" to me by just one of this chopstick? (How can I eat it?)
It is used as an antonym.
Omitted「」on 食べろ may be making you confused.
